Chapter 656: You can't imagine the shamelessness of the people of the United States
In the view of Ren Zhengyi, who is just about to start a business, it is really too far away to talk about the topic of "how to split the interests of the branch if it is big enough to span the operator business and the end consumer business" in the future.
Moreover, in 1986, there was no company law in China at all. The long-term assumptions that Gu Biao told him were all based on the relevant commercial laws of the Xiangjiang people, which was too insecure.
Although, in terms of Gu Biao's prestige in the Chinese business circle, Ren Zhengyi believes that within ten or twenty years, it is impossible for any Chinese businessman to grow up to dare to openly agree to Gu Biao's affairs and then break his promise. Even he himself will definitely not grow to this extent.
However, Gu Biao's repeated emphasis that he "doesn't care about the benefits of operator business and government orders" still made Ren Zhengyi very curious.
He was so curious that even if he thought that this thing would not happen in n years, he still wanted to get to the bottom of it.
Ren Zhengyi kindly half-persuaded and half-questioned: "Mr. Gu, don't say anything else, I'm just curious about your motives, why do you think that you have to focus on the end consumer business all your life?
Although you have a lot of business experience than I do, I want to tell you that you have a specialization in the art industry. At least at Huaxing Communications, I stay three times longer than you. You are indeed more knowledgeable than me in the field of consumer electronics and computers, but I am really more knowledgeable than you in the field of communications. It was only after I saw the profits of the operator's business that I decided to go to sea. ”
Gu Biao smiled lightly when he heard this, reached out and took out one from the cigar box on the corner of the table, cut it with a cigar clipper, lit it with a blowtorch, and then waved the smoke:
"You think badly, I said that I don't look down on the income of government orders, not because I don't know how much money these orders can make, I know very well.
I said I didn't care because I knew that this kind of business would have a great impact on my overall international layout and might also reverse my international image. ”
Ren Zhengyi was even more puzzled: "Do you think it's a shame to do operator business?"
Gu Biao waved his hand and made a dispersal action: "It's not a shame, let me ask you, if you are doing the business of the relevant post and telecommunications departments, and you want to win the order in the early days, do you want to give people benefits?"
I won't talk about the domestic market, I'll assume that you have a lot of ability, and after you do it in the future, you will hit the overseas market. Europe and the United States, with your technology, even if you can chase hard, I believe that within ten years you will not be able to meet the technical requirements of advanced operators in Europe and the United States.
So, I'm going to say you're doing business in a moderately developed or quasi-developed country in Southeast Asia. Do you think that if you want to take down the operators of these countries, can you not give benefits?"
There is no problem with the wording in Gu Biao's words.
In the context of the 80s, the official tone of the Chinese was to call Li Jiapo a "medium-level developed country" or even a "medium-high developed country".
Even Malaysia is considered a developed country, while Thailand was considered a quasi-developed country in the early 90s. Indonesia and Filipino maids are even more backward, and they really have nothing to do with developed countries, but their economies were also better than China's at that time, and these countries all plummeted after the 98 Southeast Asian financial crisis turned Soros black.
Malaysia has fallen back into development from being developed.
Therefore, in the eyes of China's first batch of technology entrepreneurs in the mid-80s, if their products want to be exported, the first goal must be to focus on the Southeast Asian market. Those are all institutions with inferior technology than China, but much richer than China. As long as the quality and technical level of domestic products are acceptable, and then they are five or ten times cheaper than Japanese products that originally occupied the market, they will be able to seize the market.
To put it mildly, in the mid-80s, there were still many window cities with a relatively large degree of openness, such as Hujiang, because there were many opportunities for citizens to immigrate, many women tried their best to get to Malaysia, and then maybe they would do everything they could to marry and open a small store in Malaysia.
At that time, people were beautiful, but after opening a small store for 25 years, I found that those neighbors who were in Hujiang and were originally worse than their family background in China were demolished and relocated to get rich, and selling a set of demolition houses was ten times more awesome than if you went to Malaysia to fight for 25 years, and I don't know how these women who rushed to marry Southeast Asians felt back then.
It's a bit far, and here it is nothing more than saying that it is not inappropriate for Gu Biao to take the Southeast Asian market as an example as a representative of the export market.
Ren Zhengyi thought about it, and then replied pertinently: "Although I don't know much about the business environment in Southeast Asia, I have heard a little about it. In these places, there is no benefit in doing business with operators and grabbing public orders...... It's really unlikely.
What's the matter? Mr. Gu, are you worried that doing business will give people benefits and have a bad reputation? It doesn't matter, let's just maintain a righteous atmosphere in China. When it comes to Southeast Asia, those countries that are originally capital pay attention to them, they are originally money worshippers and degenerate, and this kind of thing is not a big deal. Moreover, you are only a big investor and a strategic resource, and you can completely ignore the specific operation, and you don't need to personally go to the customer to get friends. ”
Gu Biao smiled coldly: "You think things are simple, there are some things that you don't want to get rid of." To do things, we must look at the overall situation and look at the world.
I won't tell you the truth, I have been in the United States for many years, and I have a relationship with some big people in the United States, or at least I am familiar with each other. I'll give you a thorough explanation, as far as I know, Regan's staff is now seeking to pass an extremely domineering bill in order to cross the border and further block the multinational merchants who cooperate with the Lucians, which you can never imagine.
The purpose of this law, called the "Anti-Overseas Fb Act," is to create a very large scope of jurisdiction in the future, so that 'as long as a person or the person in charge of an organization, or a specific person in charge, has engaged in the act of giving benefits to others while doing business in any country in the world other than the United States.' Then as long as the person is in the United States and has business in the United States, the United States can arbitrarily detain and try the person.'
You may not have an intuitive impression of the effect of the clause, so I'll give you an example. For example, suppose you sell a batch of base station equipment in Indonesia in the future, and then you have to give some money to the Indonesian shameless people who eat and take the card in the process.
Then it is enough, although this matter is between China and Indonesia, and the whole process has nothing to do with the Americans, but the Americans' hands are so wide, as long as you go to the United States, and the Americans feel that it is beneficial to arrest you and can blackmail the benefits, then people will arrest you, lock you up for a few years, and squeeze out all your oil and water. ”
When Ren Zhengyi heard this, he felt that it was incredible: "This is not a flagrant violation of other countries...... Is it an internal affair, does a foreigner in Indonesia give money to buy roads, and it is a matter of for the Americans? They want to be an international JC? You are not accurate, how is this kind of thing possible, the Americans are too rampant, and the Lucians will not resist?"
Is it rampant? Is it impossible?
However, Gu Wei, who knows history, is very sure about this.
Because in his previous life, before he crossed over, he listened to a class on "Get" aPP, and one of the lectures in it talked about the domineering global jurisdiction of the Americans.
The U.S. "Anti-Overseas Fb Act" was passed in 1988 under the presidency of Li Gen. At the beginning, it was just to find an excuse to crack down on those multinational groups that might have business dealings with the Lucians, so that they could arrest and frame the executives and shareholders of those multinational companies with the crime of adding to the crime, lest these people sabotage the United States' grand strategy of "playing a game of chess in the world, suppressing international oil prices for more than five years, and forcing Lucia to death".
However, after the Lucia were finished, the American beast was released from its cage and could never be kept back.
Americans find it so cool to be in the world that they can't stop at all.
Later, the "Get" aPP interpreted a book of true deeds by Frédéric Pieruzzi, a former executive of the French Alstom Group, "The American Conspiracy".
When it comes to 2013, in order to support GE's return to the nuclear power business, the Americans needed to acquire France's Alstom to restore their international competitiveness because GE's technology was out of gear and lacked competitiveness.
Then, when the head of Alstom, Frederick Pieruzzi, was in charge of Alstom, he was arrested on charges of committing the crime of "Pieruzzi gave benefits to the relevant person in charge of Indonesia when he sold an order for Alstom power station equipment to the Indonesian authorities many years ago."
Then he really arrested Frederick Pieruzzi and spent five years in prison before being released in 2018.
So, don't doubt that the Americans really did what they did, which at first heard horrific.
As we all know, France is the most powerful nuclear power in the West, and Alstom is the leader of French nuclear power. The Americans, who are such a French national heavy-duty nuclear industry giant, still casually find an excuse to give benefits between the French and the Indonesians, and brazenly say that if you do it, you will be put in prison for five years.
It is conceivable how domineering this was, but at that time, even O'Moude personally came forward to protest against the Americans and tried to support Alstom, but they failed to change the hegemony of the Americans.
When it was inevitable that "Alstom might be controlled by others", the French also tried to pass the dying struggle, introduced other competitors, and let the German's Siemens disrupt the situation, exchange some shares with Alstom, and prevent the United States General Electric from completely succeeding.
However, the Americans immediately repeated their old tricks, and as soon as they saw Siemens entering the market, they collected evidence from all over the world, and they could always find an excuse for Siemens' executives to buy road money when they sought public orders in any country in the world. Then the Americans arrested several Siemens and German executives who were passing through the United States and temporarily detained them, completely humiliating you like a dog, forcing Siemens to announce that it would abandon the exchange of shares with Alstom, and those Germans were not locked up for too long, and announced that they were released "without sufficient evidence" before the indictment.
And the worst Frédéric Pieruzzi was finally released from prison after Alstom was bought by General Electric. In the years when he was imprisoned, Alsitong changed to a guy who was about to retire to take charge of the overall situation, gave away the head to let General Electric acquire it smoothly, and retired smoothly after the harvest, and the Americans also gave the retired traitor a reward of 4 million euros for the clever name At this time, the Americans poured double standards, not to mention that they also gave the French benefits.
It can be seen that after the mid-2010s, Americans are really shameless. In contrast, ZTE and Huawei, which were engaged in by the Americans in later generations, are nothing at all compared with the cases of Alstom and Siemens.
The French and Germans also resisted to the death, but unfortunately, under the threat of hegemonic force by the United States, they were completely as undignified as weak chickens.
Therefore, as a future multinational group superwealthy, although he has to find a way to deal with the Americans slowly, he cannot be reckless. In order to better protect himself, in 10 or 20 years, his best way is not to touch any business with corporate orders at all, accumulate strength, and wait for opportunities.
He only does business for consumers, so he can avoid being stuffed with money to buy money and being stuffed with money to buy roads. 6
